I was surprised to learn that at Jesus second coming the raptured church will not participate in the battle against the Antichrist, the False prophet and the ungodly nations. Though we the church Will return With Jesus to reign with him in his kingdom during the millennium , that battle won't include the church. Revelation 19:14 describes those following Christ at his second coming as armies of heaven riding on white horses and dressed in white linen, and is why I concluded it was referring to the raptured church. But in fact angels also are clothed in white and angels are recorded in scripture as having roles in battle in bible history and in prophecy like Michael the Archangel who battles against Satan and his angels in heaven and ousts them out of heaven down to the earth as recorded in Revelation 12:7-9. So, it makes sense that this verse in Revelation 19:14 is actually referring to angels who are geared up to battle with Jesus. But the church will accompany Jesus at his second coming to reign with him in his kingdom and I imagine the battle that takes place will be a swift and precise battle that will take place and Jesus kingdom will be set up immediately Daniel 2:44.

Rev. 19:14 says it’s the armies of heaven who return with Jesus. Remember, angels are also clothed in white, and personally I don’t think the Lord will take His new bride into battle with Him. Besides, there’s no place in scripture that identifies the church as the armies of heaven. It always refers to angels.
